One of my friends recently got engaged. She wants a fall wedding next year, however one of our other friends already has a date set for October. How long should one wait between a friends wedding and their own? Is it wrong for her to set a date before our other friends wedding?

Dear Kara,
It is not wrong to set the date according to when your other friend is getting married. What should dictate your date selection is when you are able to acquire the church and reception site. This should coincide with when it works out best for your both families and friends. Your friend should let this be her guide to setting the date.

Dear Bride, This is what happens, because most people have friends of the same age, they hit major milestones at the same time. This means that there tend to be clusters of weddings. (One year, I have 11 weddings in 12 weeks!!) As a friend, the 2nd bride should call the 1st bride to tell her first of the plans. The 2nd bride can easily choose a date 3 weeks before or 2 weeks after her friend's date. Occasionally, the weddings will be closer, in this case, the 2nd bride really needs to use diplomacy in telling the 1st bride. There are so many consternates, including: there are only so many weekends in a month, the number of schedules to consider and the availability of the preferred venue. Jodi R R Smith
